My son’s fifth birthday is coming up, so I’m seriously thinking about picking up this staycation package from LivingSocial: $229 for a one-night stay for six at Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine. With this package, you’ll get a themed Wolf Den or KidKamp Suite, plus six admissions to GWL’s 80,000-square-foot indoor water park and six tickets to their Howlywood XD Theater, a motion-simulated thrill ride and the newest addition to the resort. (This price is valid for stays Sunday through Thursday; you’ll pay $249 for a Friday stay.)

You can combine several vouchers to stay as long as you like. You’ll have until Dec. 20 to complete your stay. The water park will be closed Sept. 16-20, and there are blackout dates of Nov. 22-23. But the best part? You have a full 30 days to get a refund from the date of your purchase – so if no rooms are available on the date you want, you can always back out.
